Antarctica Whiskey

Not really sure where to post this, but I found this article interesting. It is a story about Earnest Shackleton's whiskey from 1909 that was buried in ice and only now being uncovered. At the time, it was a 10yr old Scotch.

I would be willing to sample it... for quality control purposes of course....

Whats the point of that?

I was under the impression that a small sample would be drawn, the bottles would be preserved by this New Zealand museum the the crates (minus the bottles) would be returned. That might not have been in this article I posted... I read a few about it.

Even then though you can ask: "what's the point."

Hope is subversive, for it limits the grandiose pretensions of the present by calling into existence the possibility of something better.
